Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the "sacraments of Christian initiation, whose unity must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. Catechism of the Catholic Church 1285

Additional Opportunities In response to the US Bishops' document, "Renewing the Vision", ministering to the whole person is a goal of all aspects of our religious education and faith formation so Confirmation students are encouraged to participate in various events, activities, and meetings throughout the year with our middle school youth ministry. These varying opportunities include socials, service, and
sessions to delve deeper into their faith.
